A Blessing If You Would Learn

The heart when young, so blissful and knows no sin the mind's ego knows no bounds, its strength within The earth, sound and steep, its fruits the soul entice the taste of spice great! to every slice a price The eyes rain and the mouth would savour its pain when dry is your land, sow no seed, reap no grain Valiant steps fear no edge nor the burn of sands wish die for the glory of walking God's Lands Specks of dust make souls blind can turn lives to dust just a spark of deep Faith heralds paths to trust Ascend and observe, gems in you aim to earn What seems as harm, a blessing if you would learn God for you paves paths and lends many a hand a deep well of Love granted to flood your land Those warm drops of Love and Life, in time of birth brought heaven under your feet, mothers of earth Peace and joy in voice of heart to God raise praise light in soul, a power with beauty would blaze Brushes and pens paint and a language translate the soul ebb and flow beyond language and state.
